The Infomaniacs: September 3rd 2026 (7:00am) · WTAW - Infomaniacs

0:02
Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. A
0:07
Speaker 1: woman has been jailed after driving drunk through a construction
0:10
Speaker 1: zone and dragging a construction worker after he tried to
0:13
Speaker 1: stop her. College Station Police responded to the 2400 block
0:16
Speaker 1: of State Highway 6 near Southwest Parkway around 1045 Tuesday night.
0:21
Speaker 1: Workers say 64-year-old Mary McGee was going nearly 60 miles
0:25
Speaker 1: per hour as she drove past workers while driving the
0:28
Speaker 1: wrong direction. After workers flagged her down, a foreman realized
0:32
Speaker 1: she was likely intoxicated and tried to take the keys
0:34
Speaker 1: from her ignition. McGee put her car in reverse with
0:37
Speaker 1: the man still partially inside, dragging him approximately 70 feet
0:42
Speaker 1: until her vehicle was blocked in by an off-duty officer
0:45
Speaker 1: working security and other workers on a street sweeper. CSPD
0:49
Speaker 1: performed a field sobriety test, which she failed. A blood
0:52
Speaker 1: sample was taken at a local hospital before McGee was
0:55
Speaker 1: booked into the Brazos County Jail for driving while intoxicated.
0:59
Speaker 1: and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is being
1:01
Speaker 1: held on $ 70, 000 bond. This is McGee's 16th booking into
1:06
Speaker 1: the Brazos County Jail. Her previous arrests include driving while intoxicated,
1:10
Speaker 1: evading arrest, criminal trespass, possession of a controlled substance, and prostitution.
1:15
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Big Six construction project, the main lanes
1:19
Speaker 1: are scheduled to be closed tonight. Both north and southbound
1:22
Speaker 1: lanes will be closed between Southwest Parkway and Briarcrest Drive.
1:26
Speaker 1: The closures start at 7.30 tonight and continue through 6.30
1:30
Speaker 1: Friday morning. No road closures are expected to take place
1:33
Speaker 1: this weekend. Less than a month into the College Station
1:36
Speaker 1: ISD school year and two students from A & M
1:39
Speaker 1: Consolidated High School have been arrested in separate instances of
1:42
Speaker 1: having a THC vape at school. A 17-year-old student was
1:46
Speaker 1: arrested on Tuesday and after the device fell out of
1:49
Speaker 1: his pocket while being escorted to the office by the
1:52
Speaker 1: school's resource officer. He was charged with a third-degree felony,
1:56
Speaker 1: possession of a controlled substance in a drug-free zone. He
1:59
Speaker 1: is free on a $ 15, 000 bond. The first student was
2:02
Speaker 1: arrested on August 25th, and he is also free on bond.
2:06
Speaker 1: The new head of Homeland Security is promising that all
2:09
Speaker 1: immigration agents will have body cams by the end of September.
2:12
Speaker 1: Texas Border Congressman Henry Cuellar says that will be huge.
2:17
Speaker 2: It's good for the agent. Somebody wants to accuse him
2:19
Speaker 2: of something.
2:20
Speaker 1: Cuellar says that the cameras are also a benefit to
2:23
Speaker 1: the community when it comes to government transparency. The technology
2:27
Speaker 1: has been a huge debate in Texas after the shooting
2:29
Speaker 1: death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. The ICE agents
2:33
Speaker 1: had not been issued body-worn cameras, and that has only
2:36
Speaker 1: deepened the debate about what happened that day. A federal
2:39
Speaker 1: courthouse is likely coming to College Station. The final cog
2:43
Speaker 1: will fall into place after a signature from President Trump.
2:46
Speaker 1: A bill that would have added 63 new permanent U.S.
2:49
Speaker 1: District Court judgeships throughout the United States, including 13 in Texas,
2:54
Speaker 1: was vetoed by Joe Biden in 2024. New legislation has
2:58
Speaker 1: passed that doesn't just say that another court will be
3:00
Speaker 1: added to the Houston District. It specifies that it will
3:03
Speaker 1: be located in College Station. Adding a courthouse in College
3:07
Speaker 1: Station means cases involving Brazos County litigants will no longer
3:11
Speaker 1: be forced to travel to a Houston courtroom to have
3:13
Speaker 1: their cases heard. More news ahead at 7.30 or anytime
3:17
Speaker 1: at WTAW.com. I'm Will Welch, 1620-945-WTAW.
3:25
Speaker 3: This is your Morning Foundation, presented by Lone Star Roof Systems.
3:29
Speaker 3: Stewardship of time. How you spend your time is the
3:34
Speaker 3: most honest reflection of what you actually value. Don't spend
3:37
Speaker 3: your life fixing things that should have been done right
3:40
Speaker 3: the first time.
3:41
Speaker 4: At Lone Star Roof Systems.
3:43
Speaker 3: We value your time. We show up when we say
3:45
Speaker 3: we will, and we do the work so you don't
3:47
Speaker 3: have to worry. Now as to your daily question of value,
3:50
Speaker 3: if you were paid purely based on the value you
3:53
Speaker 3: created yesterday rather than the hours you worked, would you
3:57
Speaker 3: be happy with your paycheck? How can you create more
4:00
Speaker 3: value today?
4:05
Speaker 5: At Brazos Valley Floor and Design, the Morrow family has
4:07
Speaker 5: helped Bryan College Station homeowners remodel with confidence for over
4:11

4:34
Speaker 1: We're in the CC Electric studio from new homes to
4:37
Speaker 1: flickering lights. They are here to help. CCElectricBCS.com.
4:42
Speaker 6: 1620-945-WTAW. Happy Thursday, y'all. We're the Info Maniacs, and 50%
4:49
Speaker 6: chance we will see some more rain today. Again, coin flip.
4:53
Speaker 6: It's a better chance than we usually get this time
4:55
Speaker 6: of year. Got some good stuff last night, obviously, for
4:58
Speaker 6: a lot of us. Other than that high around 90 degrees.
5:01
Speaker 6: Then 40% chance of more rain tonight, low down around 74. Tomorrow,
5:07
Speaker 6: 40% chance of rain and a high near 91. Weather

5:25
Speaker 6: let's begin. I'm going to need you to describe what
5:28
Speaker 6: is on your microphone screen. And I know, it's hard
5:34
Speaker 6: without a video. Okay, you're going to put him on?
5:38
Speaker 6: We're going to add him to your hand here.
5:40
Speaker 1: So what you're asking is, what is this? And this
5:45
Speaker 1: is the rabbit that Glenn brought in earlier in the week.
5:52
Speaker 6: That's the guy. Here, have him face me for one second.
5:55
Speaker 6: There you go. Okay, very good.
5:57
Speaker 1: So I've been talking to him.
6:00
Speaker 7: Yeah.
6:01
Speaker 1: And he introduced himself.
6:03
Speaker 8: What are you talking about there, Chuck?
6:09
Speaker 9: Look.
6:10
Speaker 1: Okay, his name is Tony. It's Tony the Rabbit, all right?
6:14
Speaker 6: Tony the Rabbit. See, we were going to have you
6:17
Speaker 6: guys reach out to name the rabbit, and then you
6:19
Speaker 6: texted me last night and said his name's Tony.
6:22
Speaker 1: He told me his name's Tony.
6:23
Speaker 6: He told me his name's Tony.
6:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, why do people call you Tony the Rabbit? Yes, why? Tony,
6:28
Speaker 1: why do people call you Tony the Rabbit?
6:29
Speaker 8: People are always asking why. Why are you called Tony
6:34
Speaker 8: the Rabbit? Let me tell you, you really don't want
6:38
Speaker 8: to know.
6:39
Speaker 6: No, I do. No.
6:40
Speaker 8: People ask me all the time, and I tell them,
6:42
Speaker 8: you don't want to know, but people are jerks, so
6:44
Speaker 8: they keep asking.
6:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they're going to keep asking. So I
6:47
Speaker 1: tell them, fine, I'll tell you.
6:48
Speaker 10: Right.
6:49
Speaker 8: My name is Tony the Rabbit because my name is Tony,
6:53
Speaker 8: and I'm a rabbit.
6:56
Speaker 1: Get it?
6:58
Speaker 6: This is fantastic character work, by the way.
7:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever.
7:00
Speaker 6: Whatever.
7:01
Speaker 1: This guy's a putz. Oh, that's right.
7:03
Speaker 6: You're an independent, sentient being.
7:05
Speaker 11: Yes.
7:06
Speaker 6: Sorry, Tony. I didn't mean to.
7:07
Speaker 1: Don't hurt his feelings. I did not mean to imply.
7:10
Speaker 1: You don't want to upset Tony here. That's right, Josh.
7:13
Speaker 2: Why?
7:14
Speaker 1: Look, this is my week.
7:15
Speaker 6: Not that I want to upset you.
7:16
Speaker 1: This is my week, okay?
7:17
Speaker 6: Okay, all right.
7:18
Speaker 12: I'm out.

7:29
Speaker 12: All right.
7:30
Speaker 8: So I'm out working my job, hopping down the bunny trail.
7:34
Speaker 1: Next thing I know, wham, some.
7:35
Speaker 8: Guy hits me with a car, scoops me up, puts

Speaker 8: me in a trunk Oh.

Speaker 1: he shoves me in a bag. Right.
7:50
Speaker 8: And brings me to this room, where I have sat
7:54
Speaker 8: here for two days listening to you morons.
7:57
Speaker 6: Oh, Lord, yeah, no, that's probably very unpleasant.
7:59
Speaker 1: They wouldn't do that to people in Guantanamo.
8:01
Speaker 7: That.
8:04
Speaker 6: Stop waterboarding, Tony.
8:05
Speaker 1: Good Lord. It's close enough.
8:07
Speaker 6: You have air conditioning, Tony.
8:08
Speaker 1: Look, I can deal with it. Look, I come from
8:10
Speaker 1: an old family, right?
8:11
Speaker 6: An old family.
8:13
Speaker 1: From the old country.
8:14
Speaker 6: From the old country?
8:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were known as the Rabitos over there. Stop it.
8:19
Speaker 1: Stop that. Now I work in sanitation. Do you? Yeah, supposedly.

Speaker 1: I'm talking.
8:33
Speaker 6: About, right? We're getting into the Taco stuff. He's going
8:39
Speaker 6: to be a problem.
8:40
Speaker 1: He is going to be a problem. He's got attitude, man. Attitude. Listen,
8:46
Speaker 1: don't make me.
8:47
Speaker 8: You think I'm just some fluffy little bunny? I've got huge,
8:50
Speaker 8: ferocious teeth. I'm still waiting for payback from that 1960s, 1970s, 1980s.
8:57
Speaker 8: rabbit paw massacre.
9:00
Speaker 1: Where you guys... Listen here, Nacho. Were you carrying around
9:03
Speaker 1: one of those rabbit paws? They were lucky.
9:06
Speaker 6: They were good luck charms. Actually, I thought you might
9:08
Speaker 6: be a good luck charm to keep you in the studio.
9:11
Speaker 1: No, that's lucky. Lucky Rabbit's another guy, but he's not
9:15
Speaker 1: so lucky.
9:19
Speaker 6: Eric texted. What have I tuned into this morning?

Speaker 1: Misty. Misty, that's very rude. Listen.
9:55
Speaker 6: That's very rude to our friend Tony, who apparently seems

Speaker 6: to have an anger issue. Let's not poke the bear.
10:00
Speaker 1: Misty. I'm not a bear. All right.
10:02
Speaker 6: Poke the rabbit.

Speaker 6: 1620-945-WTAW. Good morning. A quick little note, and thank you
12:03
Speaker 6: to Adam for letting us know that it's raining in Navasota.
12:06
Speaker 1: How about that? And I checked the radar. It is
12:09
Speaker 1: literally raining in Navasota, covering about, oh, I don't know,
12:13
Speaker 1: three-quarters of Navasota, the city itself, and no place else.
12:17
Speaker 1: That's right. However, there are some light showers moving into
12:21
Speaker 1: our area with some that are slightly heavier.
12:23
Speaker 6: Slightly heavier, you say?
12:26
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:26
Speaker 6: Okay. That's like we said, man. The Gulf is doing
12:30
Speaker 6: its job. It's trying to. It's trying to fight.
12:33
Speaker 2: Yeah.
12:34
Speaker 14: Fight.
12:35
Speaker 6: Just do what you need to do. You got to
12:36
Speaker 6: beat back the Aggie Dome.
12:37
Speaker 1: That's fine.
12:38
Speaker 6: We will all do our parts.
12:39
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's... Will has.
12:40
Speaker 6: Worn brand new shoes today.
12:42
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's any green left in my
12:44
Speaker 1: grass for it to recover because I'm not, I don't
12:47
Speaker 1: have a sprinkler system or anything like that.
12:49
Speaker 9: Right.
12:49
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it'll recover and I'm kind
12:51
Speaker 1: of hoping it doesn't because I don't want to mow
12:54
Speaker 1: anymore this season.
12:55
Speaker 6: Like it'd be. Now, on to your text messages, 979-695-1620.
13:01
Speaker 6: Michael is very excited, finally. This is the high-quality radio
13:07
Speaker 6: programming he has been waiting for on this show in
13:10
Speaker 6: reference to our third co-host, Tony.
13:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, I stuffed Tony back in his place, by the way.
13:15
Speaker 6: Eric says, I would rather start my day with no coffee.
13:20
Speaker 6: listening to the heathen child cries of the mom calling championship.
13:25
Speaker 1: Look, that's not very nice.
13:26
Speaker 6: That is not nice. He also says, keep the character
13:30
Speaker 6: work for those FM stations.
13:33
Speaker 1: Hey, we are an FM station.
13:35
Speaker 6: We are 94.5 FM.
13:37
Speaker 1: We are so big. We cover both frequencies.
13:42
Speaker 6: I'm going to go out on a limb and assume
13:44
Speaker 6: you're not a fan of Luke Bryan.
13:45
Speaker 1: Are you? I mean, I've, Yes and no. I respect
13:50
Speaker 1: him for what he's done. I had to take my
13:53
Speaker 1: daughter to see him for her first concert.
13:56
Speaker 6: Her first concert.
13:57
Speaker 1: In San Antonio.
13:59
Speaker 6: Holy cow.
14:00
Speaker 1: I'll make it quick. She was little, little. We were
14:06
Speaker 1: with my wife's cousin and her daughter. My wife's cousin
14:10
Speaker 1: took My daughter to the bathroom and she hears giggling
14:13
Speaker 1: coming from the stall.
14:14
Speaker 10: Right.
14:15
Speaker 1: And so she says, you know, at least are you OK?
14:18
Speaker 1: Lee says, yes. What's going on? I wore two pair
14:22
Speaker 1: of panties. I don't know why she had panties on.
14:28
Speaker 1: I guess she got up so early in the morning
14:29
Speaker 1: that she just put on.
14:30
Speaker 6: She was so excited to see Luke Bryan.
14:31
Speaker 18: Yeah.
14:32
Speaker 6: Doubled up.
14:33
Speaker 1: So it started one of her... It was her second nickname.
14:37
Speaker 1: And we call her Dos Pantalonis now.
14:40
Speaker 6: I like it.
14:41
Speaker 1: Thank you.
14:41
Speaker 6: Street cred. Luke is going semi-viral for being really irritated
14:48
Speaker 6: that people are criticizing him, accusing him of using AI
14:52
Speaker 6: to write his latest song. Like, he's big mad about this.
14:55
Speaker 1: Listen, check it out.
14:56
Speaker 19: Like, right when it came out, you know, you get
14:58
Speaker 19: one or two kids with a bunch of followers that
15:00
Speaker 19: say we AI'd it, and then the whole world, like,
15:04
Speaker 19: goes on their narrative.
15:06
Speaker 1: Like, they're looking in the camera. I think it's just.
15:09
Speaker 19: And they're like, I hate you. I'm watching it, and
15:12
Speaker 19: I'm like, I can see your face. Like, if I
15:17
Speaker 19: see you one day, I'm.
15:20
Speaker 1: Going to knock the.
15:21
Speaker 6: Yes, he might end up assaulting a few people.
15:24
Speaker 1: Oh, no, look, that's not the way you go. Let
15:28
Speaker 1: a professional PR person tell you the way to handle this. Go. What,
15:32
Speaker 1: you think that's AI? Thanks. Appreciate it. No, it's not.
15:36
Speaker 1: Y'all have a nice day. And then be done with it.
15:39
Speaker 6: The song he's referring to, fish, hunt, golf, drink.
15:43
Speaker 1: Man, country music continues to really work deep into the soul,
15:47
Speaker 1: doesn't it, with these topics.
15:49
Speaker 13: Yeah.
15:50
Speaker 14: Tax man wasn't for the bills just a taste if
15:54
Speaker 14: it wasn't for the traffic in my windshield if there
16:00
Speaker 14: wasn't always somewhere to be and my life was really
16:06
Speaker 14: up to me If I could have it my own way,
16:12
Speaker 14: you know Let me tell you how every day would go.
16:15
Speaker 19: Wake up, coffee, camo Climb tree, wet line 18 fish.
16:24
Speaker 6: Hunt, golf dream That's the song.
16:28
Speaker 1: Honestly, I think the best defense in his case is
16:31
Speaker 1: that AI could have done better. Again, I mean... Just
16:38
Speaker 1: quit pandering, country music artists. Quit pandering to the lowest
16:41
Speaker 1: common denominator where you've got to sing about a truck
16:44
Speaker 1: and a beer and a girl sitting next to you.
16:47
Speaker 1: Get into some deep stuff, man.
16:49
Speaker 6: There's so much material you can. And here's the thing.
16:53
Speaker 6: Someone got paid a lot of money to write that
16:55
Speaker 6: for Lou Bryan.
16:55
Speaker 20: Absolutely.
16:56
Speaker 6: And the reason I know that is because all of
16:57
Speaker 6: Lou Bryan's songs sound like that. All of them.
16:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, because he's found his writers that work for him.
17:01
Speaker 6: He's found his writers that do his thing, that make
17:03
Speaker 6: what he likes. And so someone's sitting there and is like,
17:05
Speaker 6: what can we do?
17:06
Speaker 1: Here you go, man.
17:06
Speaker 6: Record it. He doesn't need to go to AI. AI,
17:10
Speaker 6: you're right, Will, would make it too good.
17:13
Speaker 1: Probably.
17:14
Speaker 6: By the way, in the country music world, there's a
17:17
Speaker 6: whole mountain of backlash against another one. Have you ever
17:19
Speaker 6: heard of Stella Lefty?
17:22
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
17:23
Speaker 6: Stella is really popular for a song called Boston right now.
17:27
Speaker 6: I think they even play it on Candy 95.
17:28
Speaker 21: Really?
17:29
Speaker 6: A country song called Boston.
17:29
Speaker 1: But recently....
17:34
Speaker 6: She's come under backlash because all of her songs seem
17:37
Speaker 6: to sound like other famous songs. I'll give you an example.
17:42
Speaker 6: I believe this is the front part of Boston. And
17:46
Speaker 6: then another song, which might sound, and you tell me
17:49
Speaker 6: if I'm wrong, might sound eerily, eerily similar to her song.
17:57
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the song.
18:02
Speaker 6: Then it sounds like Noah Khan.
18:07
Speaker 1: Okay.
18:09
Speaker 22: Will says no.
18:13
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing it.
18:14
Speaker 6: Not hearing it.
18:15
Speaker 1: Okay.
18:16
Speaker 14: All right.
18:16
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's enough music out there that some
18:19
Speaker 1: things are going to sound like other things. True.
18:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
18:22
Speaker 12: Yeah.
18:23
Speaker 9: Yeah.
18:23
Speaker 1: This is not a... Queen versus Vanilla Ice thing, in
18:27
Speaker 1: my opinion.
18:27
Speaker 6: Now, there's a second song that has happened. It has
18:30
Speaker 6: actually happened four times with her. Here's the second song
18:35
Speaker 6: that people say Stella Lefty ripped off.
18:39
Speaker 1: I don't mind that song. I mean, it's stripped down nice,
18:42
Speaker 1: just acoustics.
19:09
Speaker 21: No.
19:11
Speaker 6: She has had to add the chicks as a writer's credit.
19:15
Speaker 1: Really?
19:15
Speaker 6: And she has had to add Noah Kahn as a
19:18
Speaker 6: writer's credit to both of those tracks.
19:20
Speaker 1: So she's admitting that she ripped them off then?
19:22
Speaker 6: I think that she's saying that she just doesn't want
19:25
Speaker 6: to deal with it. Now, I think... Again, so you're
19:28
Speaker 6: saying you don't you don't hear it on.
19:29
Speaker 1: I have heard I have heard a number of songs
19:32
Speaker 1: that sound like other songs. And that just happens. I mean,
19:35
Speaker 1: there's a ton of them. It's impossible.
19:36
Speaker 6: It's a three chords.
19:37
Speaker 21: Yeah.
19:38
Speaker 6: Three chords. A lot of people perhaps are hating on
19:43
Speaker 6: this girl because her dad, Mr. Lefty, that's not his
19:48
Speaker 6: real name, but it's not her real name. last name either,
19:51
Speaker 6: is a billionaire.
19:52
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
19:52
Speaker 6: He's the founder of Groupon.
19:54
Speaker 1: Well, but she can't help that.
19:56
Speaker 6: Left Octowitz or something. I don't know him, but he's very,
19:59
Speaker 6: very wealthy. And a lot of people are saying that
20:02
Speaker 6: the backlash is because people are just salty because her
20:04
Speaker 6: dad is a billionaire, which I, yeah, like you said, man,
20:09
Speaker 6: You can't pick them.
20:10
Speaker 14: No.
20:10
Speaker 20: Yeah.
20:11
Speaker 1: I mean, if my dad could have bought me a
20:13
Speaker 1: country music career.
20:16
Speaker 6: I would have expected it.
20:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
20:18
Speaker 1: I mean, that would take a lot of money because
20:20
Speaker 1: I can't sing a lick.
20:22
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know, Will, as we just illustrated from
20:24
Speaker 6: Luke Bryan.
20:25
Speaker 23: Yeah.
20:27
Speaker 1: Not necessary.
20:28
Speaker 6: There's not necessarily always a very high bar.
20:30

22:44
Speaker 12: On this Thursday, I'm thinking about inequality in the USA.
22:53
Speaker 12: The gap between the folks who live in big cities
22:57
Speaker 12: and those in rural areas is is getting wider. That
23:01
Speaker 12: is the key to voting patterns in the future. There's
23:06
Speaker 12: a big difference in point of view in the countryside
23:11
Speaker 12: as opposed to the big cities like New York, LA, Chicago, Miami,
23:16
Speaker 12: San Francisco. That reality is hurting the Democratic Party right
23:21
Speaker 12: now and helping President Trump and the Republicans. Progressives have
23:28
Speaker 12: little perspective. They are not really in touch with what
23:33
Speaker 12: I call the folks. They aren't interested in justice, incarceration,
23:40
Speaker 12: and rational people know this. It's all tied into the
23:45
Speaker 12: Democratic Party. They support the progressive movement. Now, voters may
23:50
Speaker 12: not like Donald Trump or his policies, but I don't
23:53
Speaker 12: think many of them are going to vote for the
23:55
Speaker 12: far-left loon. they might stay home. A recent poll from
23:59
Speaker 12: the Washington Post finds Democrats are slipping in the national vote,
24:04
Speaker 12: 48 percent down to 45 percent, and that is a
24:08
Speaker 12: dead heat with the GOP as the midterms loom. Many
24:13
Speaker 12: Americans are finally waking up to the dangers posed by
24:16
Speaker 12: radical people, and that is a good thing. Back in
24:21
Speaker 12: a moment. When you need medications, you don't have any
24:24

Speaker 1: Good morning from the WTAW newsroom. I'm Will Welch. All
27:06
Speaker 1: seven counties in the Brazos Valley are now under a
27:09
Speaker 1: burn ban. Brazos County announced a ban Tuesday and Burleson
27:13
Speaker 1: County rounded things out on Wednesday. All outdoor burning is
27:16
Speaker 1: prohibited and there are limits on outdoor welding and cooking.
27:20
Speaker 1: Getting rainfall does not automatically reverse a ban. A ban
27:23
Speaker 1: remains in effect until local government repeals it or it expires.
27:27
Speaker 1: A Bryan woman is behind bars after driving drunk through
27:30
Speaker 1: the Big Six construction zone, then dragging a construction worker
27:35
Speaker 1: some 70 feet after he tried to stop her. College
27:38
Speaker 1: Station police were called to the 2400 block of State
27:40
Speaker 1: Highway 6 southbound near Southwest Parkway around 1045 Tuesday night.
27:46
Speaker 1: Reports say that 64-year-old Mary McGee is accused of speeding
27:50
Speaker 1: while driving the wrong way through the construction zone with
27:53
Speaker 1: workers present. Workers estimate McGee was traveling at about 60
27:57
Speaker 1: miles an hour before they were able to flag her down.
28:00
Speaker 1: A foreman then reached into her vehicle in an attempt
28:02
Speaker 1: to take the keys from the ignition. That's when McGee
28:05
Speaker 1: threw her car into reverse with the man still partially
28:08
Speaker 1: inside the vehicle, dragging him approximately 70 feet until her
28:13
Speaker 1: vehicle was blocked in by an off-duty officer working security
28:16
Speaker 1: and other workers in a street sweeper. CSPD performed a
28:21
Speaker 1: field sobriety test, which she failed. McGee says she had
28:24
Speaker 1: one wine cooler that evening. A blood sample was taken
28:28
Speaker 1: at a local hospital. Then McGee was booked into the
28:30
Speaker 1: Brazos County Jail for driving while intoxicated and aggravated assault
28:35
Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon. She is being held on $ 70, 000 bond.
28:39
Speaker 1: This is McGee's 16th booking into the Brazos County Jail.
28:43
Speaker 1: Her previous arrests include driving while intoxicated, evading arrest, criminal trespass,
28:48
Speaker 1: possession of a controlled substance, and prostitution. In the span
28:52
Speaker 1: of eight days, two students at A & M Consolidated
28:55
Speaker 1: High School have found themselves behind bars after being caught
28:58
Speaker 1: with THC vapes at school. A 17-year-old student was arrested
29:02
Speaker 1: on Tuesday after a vape fell out of his pocket
29:05
Speaker 1: while being escorted to the office by a school resource officer.
29:09
Speaker 1: A field test showed a positive result for THC above 0.03%.
29:15
Speaker 1: He was charged with possession of a controlled substance in
29:17
Speaker 1: a drug-free zone, a third-degree felony. That student is free
29:22
Speaker 1: on $ 15, 000 bond. Another student was arrested at AMCHS on
29:27
Speaker 1: August 25th for having a THC vape. The race for
29:31
Speaker 1: governor is proving to be closer than many expected.
29:34
Speaker 26: Governor Greg Abbott, who has sailed to victory in three
29:36
Speaker 26: straight elections, facing a situation where he's virtually tied. with
29:40
Speaker 26: Democrat Gina Inouye. That's according to another poll out this week.
29:44
Speaker 27: Abbott is an establishment Republican without a ton of baggage.
29:47
Speaker 28: So I do think that was interesting.
29:48
Speaker 26: Pollster Mark Cunningham with Overton Insight says the race for
29:51
Speaker 26: Senate is also deadlocked. The Democrat James Tallarico is up
29:54
Speaker 26: by 1% over his Republican opponent Ken Paxton. There's a
29:58
Speaker 26: whopping 12% who are undecided in that race. In San Antonio,

Speaker 1: The shooting death of an undocumented migrant in Houston is

Speaker 1: helping to initiate procedural changes within the Department of Homeland Security.
30:12
Speaker 1: The ICE agents who shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado O'Rahu
30:15
Speaker 1: were not wearing body cameras, frustrating investigators and the public. Now,
30:20
Speaker 1: Mark Wayne Mullen, the head of Homeland Security, says that
30:23
Speaker 1: all immigration agents will be wearing cameras by the end
30:26
Speaker 1: of September.
30:26
Speaker 16: But I feel like we're on track by the end
30:28
Speaker 16: of September to have everybody that's in the field.
30:32
Speaker 6: That doesn't mean every ICE agent, everybody that's in the
30:34
Speaker 6: field will have a.
30:35
Speaker 12: Body of war camera.
30:35
Speaker 1: It's for our safety and the public's safety, too. Texas
30:39
Speaker 1: Congressman Henry Cuellar says... This should be embraced by agents,
30:43
Speaker 1: but that wearing body cams is not enough. He says
30:45
Speaker 1: there needs to be written rules and training for agents
30:48
Speaker 1: concerning when cameras are turned on and how long the
30:51
Speaker 1: data is kept. A man charged in the infamous Texas
30:54
Speaker 1: Killing Fields case just outside of Houston has been found guilty.
30:59
Speaker 29: The so-called Killing Fields is an isolated 25-acre space in
31:02
Speaker 29: League City, and it's where the bodies of four young
31:05
Speaker 29: women connected to this case were found between 1984 and 1991.
31:09
Speaker 29: Jurors in Galveston County needed less than an hour to
31:12
Speaker 29: convict James Elmore Jr.
31:13

31:15
Speaker 29: In 1984, Elmore loaded a syringe with cocaine, which was
31:20
Speaker 29: used by and killed 16-year-old Laura Miller. Elmore's attorney tried
31:23
Speaker 29: to argue the prime suspect in the case, the late
31:26
Speaker 29: Clyde Hedrick, actually gave Miller the drugs. The trial started Monday.
31:31
Speaker 29: The punishment phase gets underway this morning, and Miller's father,
31:34
Speaker 29: Tim Miller, founded Texas EquiSearch in 2000. Barbara Schwartz, TSN News.

Speaker 6: Anytime.
35:37
Speaker 10: 979-695-1620.
35:37
Speaker 6: Charles, text in Malik. Most of the new quote-unquote country
35:44
Speaker 6: music is just bad rock and roll. Some of it.
35:47
Speaker 18: Yeah.
35:47
Speaker 6: Some of it, yeah.
35:48
Speaker 1: A large portion of it is.
35:49
Speaker 6: It has no beat to it that you can dance to.
35:52
Speaker 6: That's what I've always heard is one of the defining
35:54
Speaker 6: things you can say about country. It's like, okay, can
35:58
Speaker 6: you do country dancing to it?
36:00
Speaker 1: Well, the most popular songs certainly are those that you
36:02
Speaker 1: can take a turn around the old dance floor.
36:04
Speaker 6: Exactly. And if you can't, then maybe not. But, yeah,
36:09
Speaker 6: that is.
36:09
Speaker 1: There's others that are more, I guess, deep and meaningful
36:13
Speaker 1: or whatever.
36:14
Speaker 6: It tells a story. I mean, there's a million of them.
36:16
Speaker 6: But if you want to make a new law to
36:18
Speaker 6: define country music, you go right ahead. I'd like to
36:21
Speaker 6: make a new law. I would like to take a cue... From,
36:25
Speaker 6: I need to double check. I think it's Italy that
36:28
Speaker 6: did this.
36:29
Speaker 9: It is.
36:30
Speaker 6: I would like to make a new law in Bryan
36:33
Speaker 6: College Station. I think the city could take care of
36:34
Speaker 6: that for us. Perhaps all we need to do is
36:36
Speaker 6: talk to our friends at either city.
36:38
Speaker 1: Oh, we've got the county coming in later. The county's
36:40
Speaker 1: coming in. They've got jurisdiction.
36:41
Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll talk to Bentley coming up here in a
36:43
Speaker 6: few minutes. Banning texting in crosswalks.
36:49
Speaker 1: This has happened in Italy. And it's crazy because they
36:53
Speaker 1: are banning texting in the crosswalks.
36:55
Speaker 6: I love this.
36:56
Speaker 1: However, they are not banning talking on your phone.
36:59
Speaker 9: No.
36:59
Speaker 1: They're not banning necessarily looking at your phone.
37:03
Speaker 14: Yes.
37:03
Speaker 1: It's actually texting.
37:05
Speaker 6: Well, see, knowing how they do this in other situations, like, okay, like, hey,
37:11
Speaker 6: you can't text and drive, right? They essentially, it's like, hey,
37:15
Speaker 6: if they see you looking down at your phone.
37:17
Speaker 1: That's what they call it.
37:18
Speaker 6: That's distracted driving. I think it's a similar thing. Because
37:22
Speaker 6: what they're doing is considering outlawing texting and crosswalks starting
37:26
Speaker 6: in October. They will fine you about $ 100 if you're
37:30
Speaker 6: caught looking at your phone while using a crosswalk. So
37:32
Speaker 6: what they're doing is they're trying to fix that thing
37:36
Speaker 6: where you're just walking into traffic, looking down at your
37:39
Speaker 6: phone because you don't have any perception of anything else
37:44
Speaker 6: that's going on, like the cars whipping back and forth.
37:48
Speaker 1: How many times do you see somebody You know, that
37:50
Speaker 1: is a distracted walker.
37:53
Speaker 6: How many times?
37:55
Speaker 1: I was so proud last night. Took the youngest out
37:58
Speaker 1: for dinner.
37:58
Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
37:59
Speaker 1: So we're walking across the driving area of the parking lot.
38:03
Speaker 22: Mm-hmm.
38:04
Speaker 1: Coming out between cars. Dangerous situation. She is looking at
38:07
Speaker 1: her phone. And I'm just about to scold her.
38:11
Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
38:11
Speaker 1: And she stops right before she got to the end
38:14
Speaker 1: of the car.
38:15
Speaker 9: Mm-hmm.
38:16
Speaker 1: Between the cars we were walking, and looks left, right, left,
38:19
Speaker 1: just like you're supposed to.
38:21
Speaker 6: Double-check the peripheral.
38:23
Speaker 1: It was a moment of pride.
38:25
Speaker 6: And again, if you want to weigh in, 979-695-1620, but
38:28
Speaker 6: I will tell you right now, there is a good
38:30
Speaker 6: chunk of the youth of this community, specifically on campus,
38:35
Speaker 6: that is a walking hazard. Because they have no clue.
38:39
Speaker 1: Not only are they looking at their phones, but they're
38:41
Speaker 1: used to walking on campus where pedestrians are more protected
38:45
Speaker 1: than they are in the gen pop.
38:47
Speaker 14: Huge issue.
38:48
Speaker 6: WTAW, you're on the radio. What do you have for
38:50
Speaker 6: us today?
38:52
Speaker 20: Hey, this is Tim from Brenham.
38:53
Speaker 6: Morning, Tim. What you got?
38:56
Speaker 20: I was driving yesterday, and I was at this crosswalk,
39:01
Speaker 20: and this guy was on his cell phone texting me.
39:06
Speaker 20: And he didn't even look up one bit.
39:10
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying, Tim. That's what I'm saying. It's
39:13
Speaker 6: a huge issue. Number one, you would think, hey, well,
39:17
Speaker 6: they should be the most conscious about it because you're
39:19
Speaker 6: the one that's going to die if you don't get
39:22
Speaker 6: out of the way of the car.
39:23
Speaker 2: Right.
39:24
Speaker 6: But like they just yeah they don't they don't care
39:26
Speaker 6: and they're not gonna start caring.
39:28
Speaker 20: He just stood there and did nothing and i almost
39:32
Speaker 20: hit him i said dude you got to pay attention
39:37
Speaker 20: when you're on your cell phone especially at.
39:39
Speaker 6: A corner i don't believe me dude you're preaching to
39:41
Speaker 6: the choir.
39:42
Speaker 1: Thanks and situational awareness is lacking in in what i
39:45
Speaker 1: call the youth of today anyway Right. So it's tough enough.
39:49
Speaker 1: You got so many distractions going on. You know, they
39:51
Speaker 1: tell you that if you need to send a text
39:53
Speaker 1: message while you're driving, pull over and send your text message.
39:56
Speaker 1: It's so important. Right. Which is that's a hassle, admittedly.
40:00
Speaker 7: Yeah.
40:00
Speaker 14: Right.
40:01
Speaker 13: Right.
40:02
Speaker 1: But it's not a hassle if you're walking.
40:04
Speaker 27: No.
40:04
Speaker 1: Just stand still for a minute.
40:06
Speaker 6: Just and I'll give you this, too. Like I get
40:09
Speaker 6: the pack mentality. College students are on campus trying to
40:12
Speaker 6: get where you're going. You're in the middle of this
40:14
Speaker 6: this wildebeest herd of humans. Pull yourself out of the
40:17
Speaker 6: flow of traffic and, you know, take a beat.
40:20
Speaker 1: Yeah.
40:21
Speaker 9: Right?
40:21
Speaker 6: How important is it? The other side of this is... Woody. Well,
40:27
Speaker 6: Woody says, we should ban prosecution if you run over
40:31
Speaker 6: someone who can be proven to be texting. Just an
40:35
Speaker 6: example of natural selection.
40:36
Speaker 1: A little coring in the gene pool. I.
40:39
Speaker 6: You know, I don't disagree with that. I don't know
40:42
Speaker 6: that you should be charged the same way.
40:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I agree and I disagree.
40:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I don't think you can give people a
40:49
Speaker 6: license to spike a pedestrian.
40:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the problem that I'm seeing here.
40:54
Speaker 6: Yeah. Text message. I saw someone streaming a TV show
40:58
Speaker 6: while riding on his electric scooter.
41:03
Speaker 14: I'd.
41:03
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised by that. And again, the electric scooters
41:07
Speaker 6: mitigating factors. Scourge anyway. I've definitely seen a few of
41:12
Speaker 6: them rolling across a four lane or more road with
41:16
Speaker 6: their phone in their hand, blind steering it, going a
41:21
Speaker 6: fat 10, 15 miles an hour.
41:21
Speaker 1: It's insane.
41:21
Speaker 6: It's insane. John saw a college-age guy texting on his
41:31
Speaker 6: moped going by Jones Crossing, which there is no slow
41:37
Speaker 6: road on Jones Crossing.
41:39
Speaker 1: High traffic area.
41:40
Speaker 6: High traffic area.
41:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's, oh man.
41:44
Speaker 6: Furthermore, I would like to add an aggravating circumstance to
41:49
Speaker 6: my new law. If you happen to have your earbuds
41:53
Speaker 6: in while you are looking.
41:56
Speaker 1: At your phone, So you can't see me.
41:58
Speaker 6: Double the fine.
41:59
Speaker 1: And you can't hear me.
42:00
Speaker 6: Double the fine.
42:02
Speaker 1: I agree with you. And who is not stimulated enough
42:07
Speaker 1: by riding a scooter in a high traffic area that
42:11
Speaker 1: they have to... To feel alive. They've got to put
42:14
Speaker 1: some more inputs into their brain.
42:18
Speaker 6: Look, we got time before November. Fortunately, we have access
42:22
Speaker 6: to a lot of elected officials.
42:24
Speaker 20: Yes.
42:25
Speaker 1: I think.
42:26
Speaker 6: this is the new law we need. Again, I think
42:29
Speaker 6: it carries a lot more weight if similar to other initiatives,
42:34
Speaker 6: if there's a petition, but I don't have that right now,
42:38
Speaker 6: but I do have a text line.
42:40
Speaker 2: Yeah.
42:41
Speaker 6: Would you support a law like what we're talking about?
42:46
Speaker 6: And again, for the purposes of argument, I'm going to
42:48
Speaker 6: say a hundred bucks on the fine for walking across
42:52
Speaker 6: the road, looking at your phone, $ 200 if you are
42:58
Speaker 6: looking at your phone while wearing your earbuds when you
43:01
Speaker 6: are crossing a street, and a fat $ 300 if you
43:05
Speaker 6: are doing so on an electric scooter.
43:09
Speaker 1: Okay.
43:10
Speaker 6: That is what I propose. Now, if you feel otherwise,
43:14
Speaker 6: that's fine. That's why it's a discussion. Tell us what
43:18
Speaker 6: you think. Tell us why this wouldn't work, 979-695-1620, or
43:20
Speaker 6: if you just want to support it. Tell us this too.
43:24
Speaker 6: We will share your texts with powers that be. We're
43:29
Speaker 6: going to take a break. Be back right after this.
43:31
Speaker 21: Hi, this is Jim Daly with Focus on the Family.
43:33
Speaker 21: And I want to thank Drs. James and Maria Childs

44:13
Speaker 21: Adversity is never fun, but it has the power to
44:16
Speaker 21: reveal the beauty of life if we're strong enough to
44:20
Speaker 21: see it. In the winter of 1875, mountaineer John Muir
44:24
Speaker 21: was exploring what is now Yosemite National Park when a
44:28
Speaker 21: blizzard unexpectedly swept over the mountains. The temperature dropped and
44:32
Speaker 21: the snow fell so heavily that it trapped him overnight.
44:35
Speaker 21: With no shelter to protect him, he barely survived the
44:38
Speaker 21: bitter cold by pressing his body into the warm mud
44:42
Speaker 21: produced by a nearby hot springs. By morning, the storm
44:45
Speaker 21: ended and Muir became overwhelmed with wonder. The snow glimmered
44:49
Speaker 21: like diamonds in the sunlight. The mountains were as breathtaking
44:53
Speaker 21: as they were fierce. He later described the earth as
44:56
Speaker 21: an infinite storm of beauty and declared that death, in
45:00
Speaker 21: its own way, is as beautiful as life, like trees
45:03
Speaker 21: shedding their leaves in autumn.
45:05
Speaker 1: Storms are a harsh reality.
45:07
Speaker 21: They often arrive suddenly, like a blizzard over the mountains,
45:10
Speaker 21: and become so overwhelming that we struggle to see how
45:14
Speaker 21: anything good can come of them. But there is hope.
45:18
Speaker 21: Once the storm passes, if our faith is strong enough,
45:21
Speaker 21: we can reorient ourselves and see our struggles in a
45:25
Speaker 21: new light that not only eases our pain, but that
45:28
Speaker 21: allows the beauty it produces to emerge. If you need
45:32
Speaker 21: help finding beauty in what you're going through, give one
45:35
Speaker 21: of our counselors at Focus on the Family a call.
45:38
Speaker 21: The number is 1-800-THE-LETTER-A and the word FAMILY.
45:42
Speaker 1: I'm Jim Daly.
45:43
Speaker 4: The following is a real-life story from Trinity Debt Management.
45:47
Speaker 15: When I was feeling the stress of too much credit
45:49
Speaker 15: card debt, I looked at two different options, debt settlement
45:53
Speaker 15: and debt management. They may sound the same, but guess what?
45:57
Speaker 4: They're not.
45:57
Speaker 15: Debt settlement seemed like a quick fix, but I found
46:01
Speaker 15: out it would destroy my credit, create tax headaches, and
46:04
Speaker 15: hit me with huge fees. They actually told me to
46:07
Speaker 15: stop paying my bills. No way.
46:10
Speaker 4: Not me.
46:11
Speaker 15: Then I turned to a debt management plan developed by
46:14
Speaker 15: the team at Trinity they worked with my creditors lowered
46:17
Speaker 15: my payments reduced my interest saved me thousands and paid
46:21
Speaker 15: off my debt and Trinity is a Christian company which.
46:24
Speaker 4: Is important to me if credit card debt Call Trinity

Speaker 22: The A & M football team is two days away
47:47
Speaker 22: from hosting Missouri State for the first time ever at
47:49
Speaker 22: Kyle Field. Head coach Mike Elko shared thoughts on the
47:53
Speaker 22: defense ahead of Game 1 of the 2026 season.
47:56
Speaker 10: We'll see. That'll be the words I'll use for everything.
47:59
Speaker 10: We'll see. I think we have a chance to be
48:01
Speaker 10: really good if we have the ability to go out
48:03
Speaker 10: and focus and play with the level of urgency that
48:05
Speaker 10: we need to. I think they have a very, very
48:08
Speaker 10: high ceiling, but they've got to go out and they've
48:10
Speaker 10: got to go out and do it.
48:12
Speaker 22: Aggie safety and one of the five team captains on
48:14
Speaker 22: the squad this season, Marcus Ratcliffe, spoke about what he
48:18
Speaker 22: wants to see from the defense during week one.
48:20
Speaker 13: I'd say off the top of my head, just playing
48:22
Speaker 13: super hard, playing fast, everyone trying to get to the ball.
48:25
Speaker 6: I'd say execution. That was a thing last year that
48:28
Speaker 6: sometimes bit us.
48:29
Speaker 20: In the butt a little bit.
48:31
Speaker 6: And so just all 11 players, every single play.
48:34
Speaker 28: Getting the execution right.
48:35
Speaker 7: And I think really just those two things, playing hard,
48:38
Speaker 7: playing fast, and executing the right way.
48:40
Speaker 22: Coach Elko also talked about the linebackers group as a whole.
48:43
Speaker 10: I just think they made a really, really big jump.
48:46
Speaker 10: And I think Some of that was naturally expected because
48:50
Speaker 10: you had some younger new guys, Ray Coney, Tamarion Watkins,
48:54
Speaker 10: taking a lot of reps in the spring in a
48:55
Speaker 10: new system and all of that. But I just think
48:58
Speaker 10: the overall growth and development of the group really sticks out.
49:02
Speaker 10: I think Ray has had a really, really strong summer.
49:05
Speaker 10: I think he had a really, really strong fall camp.
49:07
Speaker 10: I think Noah McHale has taken a really, really big
49:10
Speaker 10: jump forward. We're really happy with what Jordan Lockhart has
49:14
Speaker 10: done and how he has played. And then Tamarian Watkins
49:17
Speaker 10: has really evolved since the time he got here. here
49:20
Speaker 10: to where he is now. And so I just think
49:22
Speaker 10: there's been a lot of growth in that room. And
49:25
Speaker 10: it's been really, really cool to see.
49:26
Speaker 22: As well as giving an update on the availability of
49:29
Speaker 22: Damian Sanford playing in the Missouri State game.
49:32
Speaker 10: Right now, yes, probably still a little bit of a
49:34
Speaker 10: game time decision. But if you were to ask me
49:36
Speaker 10: right now, yes, I anticipate him being out there.
49:38
Speaker 22: The Maroon and White are set to hit the field
49:40
Speaker 22: on Saturday night at Kyle Field with kickoff set for
49:43
Speaker 22: 6 o'clock. Tonight in high school sports, the Bryan Vikings
49:47
Speaker 22: are hosting the Belton Tigers with kickoff set for 7 o'clock.
49:51
Speaker 22: The Aggie soccer team will be hosting TCU tonight to
49:54
Speaker 22: continue their home stretch at Ellis Field. Head coach Bobby
49:57
Speaker 22: Shuttleworth recapped the Aggies' recent games and intensity level of
50:01
Speaker 22: the competition.
50:02
Speaker 7: I think we've played some good teams already this year.
50:04
Speaker 7: Baylor's a good team. Texas State, obviously a good team.
50:07
Speaker 7: Air Force gave us gave us a lot of trouble.
50:09
Speaker 7: So I think it's going to be no different. TCU
50:11
Speaker 7: is going to be going to be a strong side.
50:13
Speaker 7: They're going to possess the ball and move it and
50:15
Speaker 7: try to shift it and pull us out of spaces.
50:17
Speaker 7: So we have to be organized and disciplined and ready.
50:20
Speaker 12: For the task.
50:21
Speaker 22: Coach Shuttleworth also shared thoughts on TCU ahead of tonight's match.
50:25
Speaker 1: They're good.
50:26
Speaker 7: Obviously went to the final four last year. They have
50:28
Speaker 7: a really set style of playing in possession and, you know,
50:31
Speaker 7: they coming off a good win against Georgia, a good
50:34
Speaker 7: Georgia team. So I think we'll have our hands full,
50:36
Speaker 7: and we've got to make sure we're organized and communicating
50:38
Speaker 7: and doing our jobs.
50:39
Speaker 22: Tonight's home match is set to start at 7 o'clock.
50:43
Speaker 22: Last night, the Aggie volleyball team continued their road game
50:46
Speaker 22: stretch for the All-State Big Ten and SEC Challenge Week. However,
50:50
Speaker 22: the team came up short in a five-set clash against Indiana.
50:54
Speaker 22: Kendall Stowers had a record-breaking outing in the Aggies' final
50:58
Speaker 22: game of the Challenge Week as she registered a rally-scoring-era
51:01
Speaker 22: program high of 34.5 points in five sets. In the
51:06
Speaker 22: MLB last night, the Texas Rangers lost the Athletics 9-2,
51:10
Speaker 22: while the Houston Astros came away with a 2-0 win
51:13

Speaker 1: not driving? We see that all the time.
53:38
Speaker 21: True.
53:38
Speaker 6: You can get yeah, you can get fined for doing that.
53:42
Speaker 6: And if I think it's only fair.
53:44
Speaker 1: James says more laws equals less freedom. How do you
53:46
Speaker 1: think California got where they are?
53:48
Speaker 15: Look.
53:49
Speaker 1: I get it, James. I absolutely understand. You're not wrong, James.
53:52
Speaker 1: Not wrong.
53:53
Speaker 6: You're out of line, but you're not wrong.
53:54
Speaker 1: That is a fine and fancy tinfoil custom hat you
53:57
Speaker 1: got going on there.
53:57
Speaker 6: But I will say this. Sometimes, sometimes you need to
54:02
Speaker 6: make an exception to the rule.
54:03
Speaker 1: Sometimes.
54:04
Speaker 6: And I think we have clearly gotten to the point
54:07
Speaker 6: where we need to make an exception to the rule because, again,
54:10
Speaker 6: these kids are insane.
54:11
Speaker 1: Glenda says, I would like a law that stupid people
54:14
Speaker 1: be locked up. That would solve your problem of people
54:16
Speaker 1: with their head in their phones. Yes, Glenda, that is true.
54:19
Speaker 1: But we cannot enact a law that stupid people should
54:22
Speaker 1: be locked up.
54:23
Speaker 2: Yeah.
54:23
Speaker 1: Where will we get our politicians?
54:25
Speaker 6: What would happen to myself and Will?
54:28
Speaker 1: Exactly.
54:28
Speaker 6: I don't know.
54:29
Speaker 1: In some cases, we could be considered bumbling idiots.
54:32
Speaker 6: Aaron texts in, what about here? through headphones. What if
54:37
Speaker 6: they're wearing those? I don't care, Aaron. Everyone gets fined.
54:40
Speaker 6: That's where I'm going with this.
54:41
Speaker 1: Fines for everybody.
54:42
Speaker 6: Now, let's get down to business because it's time for
54:46
Speaker 6: jokes with Will.

Speaker 1: Listener submitted from Chris.
54:51
Speaker 6: Listener submitted content.
54:53
Speaker 1: Why can't you use beef stew as a password?
54:57
Speaker 25: Why not?
54:57
Speaker 1: Because it's not strong enough. I got an email talking
55:02
Speaker 1: about how to read maps backwards. Yeah. It was spam.
55:07
Speaker 6: Stop it.
55:10
Speaker 1: I started telling everybody about the benefits of eating dried

55:16
Speaker 6: I got some singers today.
55:19
Speaker 1: Yeah you know it's a five minute walk from my
55:21
Speaker 1: house to the bar however it is a 45 minute
55:24
Speaker 1: walk from the bar to my house the difference is
55:28
Speaker 1: staggering I invented a thought control air freshener. My wife
55:34
Speaker 1: thought it was ridiculous, but it makes sense if you
55:37
Speaker 1: think about it. Amazing. I just signed up for a
55:41
Speaker 1: dating site for arsonists. They sent me lots of matches.
